According to the report, the mother, Saadia, had severe head wounds, a fractured right shoulder, and multiple injuries on her back.

Her daughter, Rida Fatima, sustained a broken neck.

The examination was conducted by a female doctor, and the report was subsequently sealed.

The incident, which occurred earlier this month, prompted orders for strict action from the Chief Minister of Punjab.
